The grammatical and stylistic errors are

  • Pennsylvania was  governed by a member of the Penn family until the beginning of the Revolutionary War. -Passive voice
  • The  colony remained committed to William Penn's ideals for this span of so very many, long years. -Wordiness
  • As governor of the colony, the first constitution was written by Penn  and called for an elected legislature. -Subject-verb agreement error
  • Penn's Christian values extended to the Native  Americans, he paid them for the land and refused to exploit them. -Comma splice
  • A Quaker, Penn sort  of hoped Pennsylvania would be a haven for his fellow Quakers who faced continual  persecution in England. -Informal word
  • William Penn valued religious freedom and self-government, he established the colony of  Pennsylvania in 1682 as a welcoming land for others with similar values. Pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Several grammatical and stylistic blunders occurred in the sentences above. Wordiness occurred when several words that would have been substituted for just one were used. Subject-verb agreement error happened when the verb did not correlate with the subject in the sentence.

'Sort of hoped' is an informal phrase. Passive voice occurs when the subject received the action of the verb. Pronoun-antecedent agreement error is the absence of a symbiotic relationship between the pronoun and the phrases that come after it.

Write a story which ends it's better late than never
photoshop1234 [79]

Explanation:

this story is about it's better late than never

Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him. You may also read: God help those who help themselves

But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.

One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.

The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.

Better late than never meaning of the proverb- It is better to do something or arrive after the expected time than not do it or arrive at all.
